If this is the first time you've heard of Suzie Vinnick, or seen her name, or listened to a track off of any one of her eleven albums, you should seriously consider crawling out from under your cozy rock.

A couple of weeks ago, the music video for Dan Mangan’s third single off of his latest album Oh Fortune was released.

If there was one word I could use to describe Kina Grannis’ live show, it would be heartfelt. As with everything else the songstress does, Grannis manages to create an intimacy with her audience that is truly astonishing.
